Pressing pause: A professional reading group for leaders at all levels to explore the big ideas that help us to make small changes.
One barrier that we frequently cite in terms of our professional learning is 'time'. We can't create more time, but we can consider carefully how we use it, including placing value on taking some of it to pause and reflect.
On a monthly basis, we will be allocating short, manageable chunks of professional reading with a strong focus on the incremental gains we can make in our leadership practice. We will explore key themes, highlight provocations, and provide a space for collaboration with other school leaders.
And even if you don't manage to finish the homework, you will still be welcomed into the session, and hopefully get plenty out of it!
All sessions will be online via Teams webinar and will be hosted by members of the Professional Learning Steering Group. Please register for each individual session.
